NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs: Active Skaters with the Most Goals
Jaromir Jagr is the Active NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Goals Leader (2012-13)
Sports List of the Day has already run down skaters with the most career goals in NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs history.
The Boston Bruins‘ Jaromir Jagr is the only active player on that list. Of course, then, he tops today’s list (and by quite a margin – over 20 goals). These are the top 20 active skaters (as of 2012-13) with the most postseason goals.
Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin are the only skaters below in their 20′s. On solid franchises (Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Captials), these three could very well become 1-2-3 in actives in not too long a time.
Maybe one or all will catch Jagr’s 78.
Goal statistics are accurate as of the date of this post (May 10, 2013). You can see the 2013 postseason’s goal leaders here.
Teams that made the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs are noted with an asterisk.

Most Games Played in Baseball History (All Time and Active)
Pete Rose Played the Most Games in Baseball History (Unbreakable Record?)
The excommunicated all-time hits leader, Pete Rose, also played the most games in major league baseball history.
Rose is about a season-and-a-half (254 games) ahead of second place Carl Yastrzemski, who played his full 23-year career with the Boston Red Sox (Rose played for the Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos).
Eight players have played in at least 3,000 games.
Derek Jeter tops the list of active players with the most games played (second list below). With this nagging ankle injury now, it seems unlikely Jeter will break the 3,000 mark. He’ll need a new multi-year contract, too, once he heals.
At 33, Albert Pujols is the youngest player on the active list. He has a shot of at least cracking the top 10 all-time leaders.
